Chapter 15: Tank Bug (3)

As soon as Kim Seojun opened his eyes, he was greeted by a familiar ceiling.

‘It’s a bunker.’

It was far too familiar to him, so he was able to quickly understand the situation.

‘We managed to evacuate.’

Lee Hyena and Private First Class Park Boseop had taken Kim Seojun, who had been unconscious, to a safe area.

“Fuuuuuu……”

As soon as he reached that conclusion, a sigh escaped Kim Seojun’s mouth as if air were being let out of a tube.

‘What a fucking mess.’

What Kim Seojun had done had been complete madness.

A Tank Bug wasn’t something a mere Space Marine could do anything against.

It was an existence that required the intervention of armored units, and not just any unit, but an extremely powerful armored force.

Naturally, Kim Seojun had never done anything that insane until that moment.

‘This is the problem with Stimpaks.’

Even so, the effects of the Stimpaks had played a considerable role in making him do something like that.

Stimpaks numbed human fear, and Kim Seojun had injected himself with three in succession.

Of course, the main reason was something else.

‘And there’s also the Status Window.’

He now possessed the capabilities necessary to face a situation like that.

At that point, Kim Seojun’s gaze changed.

“Status Window.”

He immediately activated the Status Window and saw it.

[Kim Seojun]

— Strength: 13
— Endurance: 33
— Mana: 4
— Skills: X-Ray Vision (F), Inventory (F)
— Talents: Dynamic Vision (C), Hawk Eye (F)
— Points: 7,178 pt
— Tickets: 1 Silver Ticket, 1 Gold Ticket

His Status Window had changed in an absurd way while he was unconscious.

‘What the hell is this?’

He suddenly had two tickets and more than seven thousand points?

There was only one way that could have been possible.

‘Don’t tell me I killed all three Tank Bugs?’

There was a possibility that the explosion of the Bomb Bugs had eliminated all three Tank Bugs that had been nearby.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to obtain such an enormous number of points.

‘……This goes beyond simply being lucky.’

Naturally, that was an absurd combat result.

Honestly, he couldn’t even calculate its magnitude.

Nor what it meant.

So Kim Seojun didn’t try to.

In any case, at that moment, he had no way of knowing, nor did he particularly need to know.

There was only one thing that mattered to Kim Seojun.

He had received an extraordinary reward.

And he had obtained that ability.

Inventory.

Faced with that fact, the first emotion Kim Seojun felt was a profound sense of absurdity.

‘……I risked my life to reenlist because I wanted to make money.’

Because now that he had obtained Inventory, Kim Seojun would no longer have to worry about money.

That was how absurd that ability was.

Especially in the space age, its usefulness was impossible to describe.

“Inventory.”

That was why Kim Seojun immediately began checking the ability.

As soon as he spoke the name of the skill, a box that appeared to be made of a hologram appeared before his eyes.

‘Fifty centimeters wide, fifty long, and fifty high.’

In terms of water, that box had a capacity of approximately 125 liters.

‘……This is insane.’

There was only one way that could have been possible.

‘Don’t tell me I killed all three Tank Bugs?’

There was a possibility that the explosion of the Bomb Bugs had eliminated all three Tank Bugs that had been nearby.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to obtain such an enormous number of points.

‘……This goes beyond simply being lucky.’

Naturally, that was an absurd combat result.

Honestly, he couldn’t even calculate its magnitude.

Nor what it meant.

So Kim Seojun didn’t try to.

In any case, at that moment, he had no way of knowing, nor did he particularly need to know.

There was only one thing that mattered to Kim Seojun.

And he had obtained that ability.

Inventory.

As soon as he spoke the name of the skill, a box that appeared to be made of a hologram appeared before his eyes.

‘Fifty centimeters wide, fifty long, and fifty high.’

In terms of water, that box had a capacity of approximately 125 liters.

‘Incredible.’

Of course, it wasn’t a space large enough to store anything enormous either, but Kim Seojun knew perfectly well how absurd it was to have free use of such a space in the space age.

Fill it with that much ammunition or projectiles?

It would be enough to carry out a terrorist attack against an entire headquarters.

If he filled it with oxygen tanks and food, he could survive alone for months on a planet.

The same applied when he returned to Earth.

Naturally, he had no intention of doing it, but if he filled that space with drugs and devoted himself to smuggling, Kim Seojun could completely change the genre of his life.

It was then.

‘I need to check how things are put inside.’

Just as Kim Seojun was about to try storing an object inside Inventory himself.

“Oh? You’re awake already?”

Private First Class Park Boseop appeared.

Their gazes met.

Park Boseop’s eyes were filled with emotion and admiration, even moist with tears.

“Private First Class Park Boseop.”

“Yes, Private First Class Park Boseop, sir!”

“Can you give me something to drink?”

“What? Ah, yes!”

After seeing Park Boseop’s gaze, Kim Seojun asked him.

Park Boseop immediately pulled a small can from a pouch he wore at his waist and handed it to Kim Seojun.

Kim Seojun immediately placed it inside the green holographic Inventory that had appeared beside him.

“Huh?”

Upon seeing that, Private First Class Park Boseop tilted his head curiously, and Kim Seojun asked him.

“Can you see this?”

“What?”

As soon as he saw his reaction, Kim Seojun understood immediately.

No one other than him could see Inventory, nor could they see the things he stored inside it.

“Um…… well, I can’t see it, sir.”

Park Boseop answered belatedly, but his head was still filled with confusion.

He was sure he had handed him the can, but had it suddenly disappeared?

It was something that could only be described as magic.

“D-Did you just do a magic trick?”

At that question, Kim Seojun took the can back out of Inventory and opened it.

“It’s my ability.”

“What?”

After that brief explanation, Kim Seojun moistened his dry throat.

Park Boseop continued staring at him with a stunned expression.

“Huh? Ah, ah!”

But shortly afterward, Park Boseop’s face filled with bewilderment.

He had understood.

“S-S-Sergeant Kim, a-are you sure you can t-tell me something like that?”

Kim Seojun had just revealed something incredible to him.

In truth, that was something surprising.

For starters, every Psyker possessed different abilities.

That was why they tried to conceal them as much as possible.

And Kim Seojun had just revealed his ability so easily?

Of course, Kim Seojun would also have preferred to hide it if he could.

“In an emergency, I won’t have time to rack my brain trying to hide this ability. I have to use it when necessary.”

However, while he might be able to hide his other abilities, Inventory wasn’t something he could keep secret simply by trying.

If he hid it now and, in the middle of an emergency, ran out of ammunition, he couldn’t say to Park Boseop.

“Can you look the other way for a moment?”

Then take a magazine out of Inventory and say something stupid like.

“Wow, there was a magazine lying on the ground. Lucky me.”

More importantly, Kim Seojun knew something.

“Besides, I don’t think Private First Class Park Boseop will go around talking about this.”

The person in front of him was trustworthy.

And it wasn’t only because of the look he had shown a moment ago.

Even if he had received an order, Park Boseop had been willing to risk his life to carry out that absurd order from Kim Seojun.

And Kim Seojun decided to return that trust by showing his own.

“Even if you’re going to talk about it, you’ll probably do so after we return to Earth. When that time comes, you can talk as much as you want.”

Ultimately, any problems that ability might cause him were something to worry about after surviving.

Right now, there was no point in worrying about it.

In any case, that was Kim Seojun’s conclusion.

Seeing that, the bewilderment filling Park Boseop’s face began to disappear.

And the space it left behind was quickly filled by trust and emotion.

“I’ll never tell anyone!”

It was then.

“You’re awake?”

Lee Hyena appeared.

Major Jan Zabłocki was also beside her.

At the appearance of the two, Kim Seojun began to get up, but both of them spoke hurriedly.

“Stay seated!”

“It’s fine! You don’t need to get up!”

As soon as he saw their reactions, Kim Seojun finished confirming it.

‘Everything went well.’

He had played an enormous role.

Especially judging by Major Jan Zabłocki, who appeared to be Polish, whose expression practically said that he saw Kim Seojun as the hero who had saved his nation.

And he wasn’t wrong either.

On planet Amotia, a headquarters was practically equivalent to a country.

The fact that Kim Seojun had stopped the Bomb Bugs was equivalent to having protected Poland itself.

Kim Seojun didn’t waste time thinking unnecessarily.

“I’m Sergeant Kim Seojun.”

He saluted without getting up.

At that salute, Major Jan Zabłocki also hurriedly saluted and introduced himself.

“I’m Major Jan Zabłocki, from the Winged Hussars unit of the Polish Space Forces.”

Upon hearing the words Winged Hussars, Kim Seojun was surprised.

One of the most representative forces of the Polish Space Forces was precisely its hover bike units, and among them, the Winged Hussars unit was an elite force that could easily be counted among the ten best hover bike units of all the nations operating in space.

‘A member of such an elite unit is here? Who the hell put those ideas in his head?’

He briefly wondered why someone from such an elite unit was there, but Kim Seojun quickly put that question aside.

“Since the situation is urgent, I’ll get straight to the point.”

That wasn’t what mattered now.

“Currently, the Korean headquarters on Amotia has been annihilated. For the survivors of the Korean Space Forces to escape planet Amotia, we need the support and assistance of the Polish headquarters. I ask that you generously lend us your help and take us in.”

At those words from Kim Seojun, Major Jan Zabłocki’s expression immediately changed.

He understood that this wasn’t the time to sing the praises of a hero and faced the gravity of the situation.

Major Jan Zabłocki saluted and said.

“I swear on my honor that I will repay the favor to the man who saved our nation.”

As soon as he heard those words, both of them lowered their saluting hands.

At the same time, Kim Seojun said.

“Then let’s get some proper rest before we leave.”

As soon as he finished his conversation with Major Jan Zabłocki, the first thing Kim Seojun did was sleep.

After devouring Energy Gel like a madman, he fell asleep practically as if he had lost consciousness.

He opened his eyes again five hours later.

And as soon as he woke up, Kim Seojun realized something.

‘The Endurance stat doesn’t just increase my physical endurance, it also improves my recovery ability.’

His current physical condition was absurd in many ways.

And for good reason.

Kim Seojun had been subjected to a forced march and, on top of that, had injected himself with three Stimpaks.

Normally, after something like that, getting a little sleep wasn’t enough to recover.

Proper treatment was necessary just to barely be able to return to everyday life.

That demonstrated how absurd his Endurance was now.

Put another way, for Park Boseop or Major Jan Zabłocki, it was impossible to recover their strength with so few hours of sleep.

The same was true for Lee Hyena.

Kim Seojun approached her as she stood guard while the other three rested and said.

“Major, I’ll take over guard duty now. Get some rest.”

“I’m fine. Sergeant Kim, get a little more rest.”

At her blunt response, Kim Seojun said.

“This is only the beginning. Your combat ability is more important than ever, Major Lee Hyena, so it’s also important that you rest.”

There was no smile on Kim Seojun’s lips as he spoke.

It was proof that he wasn’t saying it out of consideration for her, but because he genuinely thought so.

Realizing that, Lee Hyena nodded.

While she went off to sleep, Kim Seojun put on his battle suit.

That way, he could immediately go out to fight if an emergency occurred.

Swish!

Finally, as soon as he finished putting on his helmet as well, Kim Seojun said.

“Purchase one Bronze Ticket.”

Unlike last time, this time he only bought one ticket.

The reason was simple.

‘There might be useless rewards now.’

Starting from 30 points of Endurance, there was a possibility that obtaining Endurance through a Bronze Ticket would become a useless result.

So he had to check first.

[You have purchased 1 Bronze Ticket.]

[Since your current Endurance stat is 30 points or higher, the Endurance stat will no longer appear.]

[Your Strength has increased by 1 point.]

However, that concern disappeared with the following notifications.

There were no useless results!

As soon as he understood that, Kim Seojun said without hesitation.

“Purchase 13 Bronze Tickets.”

[Your Strength has increased by 7 points.]

[Your Mana has increased by 5 points.]

[You have obtained a Talent Upgrade Ticket (E).]

The notifications sounded one after another.

And upon hearing them, Kim Seojun’s eyes shone brighter than ever.

He hadn’t obtained even a single Silver Ticket, but the results had been so extraordinary that it no longer mattered.

And above all, Kim Seojun still had two other tickets left.

“Use Silver Ticket.”

[You have obtained a Skill Upgrade Ticket (D)!]

As soon as he checked the reward, Kim Seojun clenched his fist without realizing it.

‘Perfect!’

He had obtained the best possible outcome.

And in that situation, Kim Seojun proceeded to open even the final Gold Ticket.

This time, he didn’t have high expectations.

No matter what he obtained, he had already achieved extraordinary results, so he had no reason to feel disappointed.

“Open Gold Ticket.”

And four hours after opening that final ticket.

“Ugh, I slept so well.”

Everyone woke up and immediately began preparing to leave.

Naturally, their destination was the Polish headquarters.

After getting up, Park Boseop immediately opened the map and checked the route to the Polish headquarters.

It was then.

“Private First Class Park Boseop.”

“Private First Class Park Boseop! What is it, sir?”

Park Boseop immediately responded upon hearing Kim Seojun, and Sergeant Kim Seojun asked.

“What’s the route to the Polish headquarters like?”

“The road isn’t difficult. The problem is that we don’t know what we might encounter along the way.”

“Can we add one more stop along the way?”

“A stop?”

At that question, Park Boseop tilted his head.

He wondered if there was perhaps some good restaurant to stop at on that completely desolate planet Amotia.

Then Kim Seojun pointed to a place with his finger.

“Huh?”

As soon as he saw it, Park Boseop was surprised.

“This mine…… isn’t it the one those Chinese were using? Why do you want to go there?”

Kim Seojun replied.

“There are supplies we couldn’t take with us that time.”

“Ah, that’s right!”

Park Boseop nodded upon hearing the answer.

At the time, the situation had been so urgent that they had been forced to rush out of there without even properly loading all the supplies they had located.

“I’ll prepare the route immediately!”

It would be too wasteful to leave them there.

Of course, Park Boseop knew something.

‘Although we won’t be able to take that much either.’

The military truck they were currently using had a capacity of 2.5 tons.

The amount of supplies they could load onto it was less than one might imagine.

Kim Seojun knew that as well.

However, at that moment, he wasn’t worried about such a problem.

Because he could see it.

‘Four meters wide, four long, and four high…… If I filled it completely with water, I could store around 64,000 liters.’

A gigantic rank C Inventory that even extended beyond the bunker he was currently in.
